WTF Was That All About? Part 1

Last week saw the final gatefold covers of DC's aborted WTF Certified event in April. The name of the now non-event was widely derided after it was revealed, and rightly so, but the covers themselves - the main cover supplemented by a surprise on the gatefold - was a neat idea. I tried to remain as spoiler free as I could, both in the run up to it when covers were being released on the net, and in my weekly Cocktail posts.

Now it's all over, I figure it's time for a quick look at the ones I bought. So, in alphabetical order...

DC's September Solicits

I don't normally go through the solicitations with any great detail, just enough to pick out a Don't Ask post and that's about it. With all these zero issues coming out in September, a few things caught my eye:

Where was the Scarab before it merged with the current Blue Beetle, Jaime Reyes?

Look - Keith Giffen's writing Blue Beetle again! Couple that with the fact that the story's about the scarab before Jaime and the internet explodes with Ted Kord anticipation in three . . . two . . . one . . .

Jonah Hex: as forthcoming after the relaunch as he ever was

New Guardians #1 Cover

DC have released the cover for Green Lantern: New Guardians #1 over at their blog:

Not entirely sure why they bothered blanking out the Corps members in the original promo as it was always clear who would be in there:

Kyle Rayner front and centre, with Bleez, Munk, Glomulus, Saint Walker and Arkillo. I guess the only uncertainty was who the Star Sapphire would be and it looks like it's Fatality.

Still, I shall be getting this.
